Mass Communication & Media

Hi Sourabh,
Some institutes are known to offer Diploma courses to 10th passed students though. The quality and validity of such Diploma courses are questionable. Ultimately, such courses are not very useful, when it comes to finding a job using them!
In short, it is better to complete 11th and 12th standards and then pursue a good (and recognized) journalism course.
In India, there are 2 main formats in which journalism courses are available. They are
Bachelors Degree courses
Diploma courses
Degree courses and Diploma courses are the good ones. But for pursuing them, you must complete 10+2 first.
As mentioned before, some institutes do allow 10th passed students to pursue Diploma and certificate courses. But the quality of such courses is not too good. And the credibility and validity of such courses and institutes offering them are questionable too!
It is very important to have a good foundation. That is why I recommend my readers to undergo 10+1 and 10+2 classes. After that, they may study good Degree or Diploma journalism courses.
All the best.
